Joe Henderson combined his passion for running with his
natural talent for writing and became one of the most prolific
running writers on the planet. Although Henderson never
accomplished his first career goal of becoming a high school or
college running coach, through his advice in hundreds of magazines
and books and in frequent speeches to running groups, he has
indirectly coached thousands of runners.
Henderson was born in Illinois in 1943 and grew up in Iowa, where he began running at age 14. After graduating from Drake University, he began his work in running journalism at Track & Field News. Today he continues as a columnist with Runner's World and as the publisher of the newsletter Running Commentary. He has authored and coauthored 22 books including the best-selling Marathon Training as well as four others from Human Kinetics--Best Runs, Better Runs, Coaching Cross Country Successfully, and Fitness Running.
Henderson has twice been named Journalist of the Year by the Road Runners Club of America. He is also a member of the Club's Hall of Fame. Henderson now lives in Eugene, Oregon, with his wife, Barbara Shaw.
"No running writer I know has combined science and art to the
extent that Joe Henderson has by taking the profound aspects of
running and presenting them in simple, easily remembered bite-sized
nuggets. Running 101 contains 101 fantastic lessons from the
teacher who's been there, done that, and who, like our favorite
teachers of all time, wants to share those experiences and relive
them with us."
